Damn, that's down right affordable in aviation terms. The lesser expensive one is cheaper than my prop cable (including shipping)! Thanks for the link. z |

Don't forget the $49.95/mo. subscription. :^\ Although I am thrilled with the performance of the system, there are some flaws. The platform, for instance. A laptop in a light aircraft cabin is a pain to handle and must have an exceptionally bright display to be readable. I have a little Sony Vaio with their Xbrite screen. It works great but therein lies another problem: a super bright display eats the battery up fast. I can't plug the laptop into the cigar lighter because it would put the circuit over the breaker limit - my portable GPS and the WxWorx receiver are already using it - so I've ordered an external, large capacity battery. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |
